ORIGINAL GUIDE
1. 1. PREREQUISITE INFORMATION
The Sonesse ULTRA 50 DC RTS motor has been developed for interior use.
Its ultra quiet operation ensures user comfort and well-being.
For more information, and to optimise the acoustic performance of your interior application, please contact a Somfy adviser.
These instructions apply to all Sonesse ULTRA 50 DC RTS irrespective of torque and speed variations.
1.1 FIELDS OF APPLICATION
The Sonesse ULTRA 50 DC motor is designed to operate interior Roller blinds applications.
The Sonesse ULTRA 50 DC motor is designed to operate multiple roller blinds simultaneously (multi-banding), where these are interconnected by an
intermediate bracket.

1.2 LIABILITY
Before installing and using the motor, please read operating and installation guide carefully. In addition to following the instructions
given in this guide, the instructions detailed in the attached Safety instructions document must also be observed.
The motor must be installed by a motor and home automation professional, according to instructions from Somfy and the
regulations applicable in the country in which it is commissioned.
It is prohibited to use the motor outside the fields of application described above. Such use, and any failure to comply with the instructions
given in this guide and in the attached Safety instructions document, absolves Somfy from any liability and invalidates the warranty.
The installer must inform its customers of the operating and maintenance conditions for the motor and must provide them with the
instructions for use and maintenance, and the attached Safety instructions document, aer installing the motor. Any Aer-Sales Service
operation on the motor must be performed by a motor and home automation professional.
If in doubt when installing the motor, or to obtain additional information, contact a Somfy adviser or go to the website www.somfy.com.
1. 2. INSTALLATION
Instructions which must be followed by the motor and home automation professional installing the motor.
Never drop, knock, drill or submerge the motor.
Install a separate control point for each motor.
To optimize ultra quiet operation, the mechanical plays between motor, accessories, tube and end of tube must be decreased to the
maximum.
2.1. INSTALLATION
2.1.1. Preparing the motor
Check that the inner diameter of the tube greater than 47mm.
1) Fit the accessories required to integrate the motor in the roller tube:
• Fit the crown a, the motor wheel b and the stop wheel c on the motor.
The stop wheel must be screwed with a torque ranging between 1.5 and 1.8 Nm.
2) Measure the length (L1) between the inner edge of the motor head and the edge of
the motor wheel.
3) Screw the bracket interface on the motor head.

2.1.2. Tube preparation
1) Cut the roller tube to the required length, depending on the motorised product.
2) Deburr the roller tube and remove the swarf.
2.1.3. Motor/tube assembly
1) Slide the motor into the roller tube.
2) The motor wheel must be locked in place to prevent movement inside the roller
tube:
• This can be done either by fixing the roller tube to the motor wheel using 4 x Ø 5
mm self-tapping screws, or by using 4 x Ø 4.8 mm steel pop rivets placed 5 mm
to 15 mm from the outer edge of the motor wheel, regardless of the roller tube.
The screws or pop rivets must only be attached to the motor wheel and not to
the motor.
3) Slide the end cap into the roller tube and locked it if necessary.
2.1.4. Installing the motor/tube assembly
The motorised product must not be compressed between the brackets
1) Install and fix the motor/tube assembly onto the end bracket fand onto the motor
bracket g:
Ensure that the motor/tube assembly is secured onto the end bracket. This
operation prevents the motor/tube assembly from coming out of the end
bracket mounting when the roller blind reaches the lower end limit position.
2) For star head motors, ensure the stop ring hin place.
2.2. WIRING
Cables which pass through a metal wall must be protected and isolated using a grommet or sleeve.
Attach cables to prevent any contact with moving parts.
The cable on the Sonesse ULTRA 50 can be removed. If it is damaged, replace it with an identical cable.
Leave the motor power supply cable accessible: it must be possible to replace it easily.
- Switch off the power supply.
- Connect the cable to the motor head.
